INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
INSTALLATION
See the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS on page 12 prior to
installation for humidity and mold prevention suggestions.
1. Finish Frame
a. A finish frame under the shell rim should also always
be constructed to support the bath deck and insure
proper drainage toward the bath well. This frame is not
intended to support the full bath weight (see Figures 2
& 3).
100% Silicone with mildew resistant properties should
be applied between the water resistant backer board
and the deck of the bath.
NOTE: If you use a tile flange kit, modify the framing
to support the bath lip as shown in Figure 2.
Jason offers a removable lateral skirt for most baths.
The skirts are available in matching acrylic colors
and provide convenient access to bath equipment as
well as an excellent finished appearance. However, if
Jason’s lateral skirt is not used, an access panel MUST
be provided to enable final electrical connections and
service. Please refer to the minimum recommended
access panel size in Table 1 - Specifications.
WARNING: Any modification to the equipment is
not recommended and will void the Manufacturer’s
warranty.
2. Rough-in the plumbing for the drain and overflow assembly. At
this time, considerations should be made for the position
and mounting of the faucet set, as well as all related
plumbing. If a Jason Double CascadeTM is provided, please
refer to the included instructions and install at this time.
3. Level the bath and remove packing board:
a. Install the bath level for proper drainage. Jason baths are
designed to be supported at the base of the bath. If the
floor is smooth and level, the baths’ Level Form™ Base
will provide proper drainage and support. (See Figure
1 and Figure 1A.) If a Jason lateral skirt is to be used,
the bath deck must be leveled at 20.5” [52 cm] from
the support flooring or the skirt will not fit properly.
Mortar is required when the subfloor is not smooth
and level; when additional sound insulation is desired;
or when the bath is installed in a drop-in application.
In alcove installations, a bed of mortar may also be
recommended to aid in leveling the bath. Note: Do
not use a sand bed to install or level the bath.
b. Remove the packing board before installing the bath. The
Air-Whirlpool bath is equipped with separate bath
pump and blower support bases which are joined for
shipment with packing boards. Detach the packing
board from the bath and from underneath the blower
and pump.
Jason International, Inc. • 501.771.4477 4. Protect the acrylic bath surface from damage during installation
with a suitable material, i.e., cardboard and/or plastic film.
5. Install the drain and overflow assembly to the bath according
to the instructions provided with the drain and position the
bath in the area of intended installation.
6. Secure the bottom of the blower and pump mount so that it is level
with thebottom of the bath. Position the bath in the area of
intended installation and cut the blower and pump support
strap(s) to allow the blower and pump mount(s) to rest
firmly on the floor. We recommend securing the blower
and pump mounts to the floor with removable fasteners
for ease of servicing.
7. A minimum ventilation opening of 2” x 4” (5 x 10 cm) for
the blower is required, and should be designed to draw in
indoor ambient air at a minimum of 22°C (72°F).
Remote Mounting of Air Blower
The Jason Air-Whirlpool system has been factory installed
following E.T.L. Guidelines. During installation, if remote
mounting of the blower is desired or required, the following
procedures should be followed.
NOTE: Do not remote mount the blower more than 15 feet (4.5m)
away from the air inlet of the bath. Choose a location as close
as possible to the bath to assure maximum efficiency.
1. The installer must determine the layout of the piping;
exact remote mount location; and service access before
beginning any work. Use 1.5” (38mm) ABS or PVC plastic
tubing. Locate the blower in an area accessible for servicing.
NOTE: A 15 foot (4.5m) extension replacement cable set
can be purchased from your Jason supplier, if needed.
To insure proper functioning of the system, avoid remote
mounting in a location which requires more than six (6)
piping direction changes. A 90° direction change should
be made up of two 45° elbows for maximum efficiency.
2. If the blower has been factory installed, disconnect the
blower from the air bath plumbing by removing the two
(2) screws on the check valve outlet and disconnect the
short piece of flex pipe between the check valve and the
elbow by removing the two (2) screws in the elbow. (Omit
this step on baths where the blower is not factory installed
and remote mounting is required.)
3. Install the blower in the remote location. The remote
mount locations’ ambient air temperature should remain
at approximately 22°C (72°F) for optimum air heating.
Make sure the blower is well ventilated. The blower mount
should be attached firmly to the floor. Piping between the
remote blower location and the bath can be insulated
using a minimum of 1/2” (13mm) thick insulation. Attach
new piping to the elbow of the existing piping.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
before installation. Refer to the Pump and/or Blower labels for voltage and frequency requirements.
for inspection and servicing. The blower and pump
junction box must be connected into a dedicated 240v,
20A, 60Hz, GFCI protected circuit. Note: The pump and
blower dedicated circuits must only power their specified
controls.
NOTE: Verify the electrical service to match either the 120v
or 240v systems.
NOTE: The bath is designed for indoor use only. The electrical
equipment must not be exposed to direct or indirect water
or moisture contact. The electrical equipment must also be
protected from dust and other airborne debris before, during,
and after installation.
1. Electrical Service: A licensed electrician must provide the
“dedicated” electrical service protected by a GFCI. The
location of the GFCI must be at least five (5) feet (152 cm)
away from the inside surface of the bath, accessible for
regular testing. Use copper conductors only.
WARNING: The electrical service to the GFCI must
not be interrupted by any control device. Likewise,
the electrical service from the GFCI to the bath control
should be direct and not interrupted by a switch. Never
use a switch in conjunction with a control device. This will
VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
2. GROUNDING IS REQUIRED
The unit should be installed by a qualified service
representative and properly grounded.
3. Standard Edition Control Box. The blower and pump are
prewired to their control boxes. The control boxes have
a 36” (91 cm) cord with plug end. The blower and pump
control boxes are mounted on a stand that is temporarily
secured to the packing board for shipping. These boxes
must remain on the control box bracket so that the two
boxes can communicate properly through their infrared
communication feature. During installation, the control
box bracket and controls must be positioned horizontally
and located to permit access for inspection and servicing.
The blower control box must be plugged into a dedicated
120v (volt), 15A (amp), 60Hz (hertz), Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit and the pump control
must be plugged into another dedicated 120v, 20A,
60Hz, GFCI protected circuit.
If an optional 1kw (kilowatt) heater is operated with this
control, then the pump control and heater must be wired
into a dedicated 30A (amp) service. Note: The pump and
blower dedicated circuits must only power their specified
controls.
4. Signature Edition Control Box. The blower and pump are
prewired to individual control boxes. The control boxes
have a 36” (91 cm) cord with a junction box connection.
The blower and pump control boxes are mounted on a
stand that is temporarily secured to the packing board for
shipping. These boxes must remain on the control box
bracket so that the two boxes can communicate properly
through their infrared communication feature. During
installation, the control box bracket and controls must
be positioned horizontally and located to permit access
Jason International, Inc. • 501.771.4477 INSTALL SERVICE CONNECTION AT LEAST 6” (15cm)
ABOVE SUB FLOOR.
DANGER: Do not alter the factory installed wiring. All building
materials and wiring should be routed away from the
blower body or other heat-producing components of the
unit.
ALL LOCAL AND STATE ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING CODES
MUST BE OBSERVED. Where there are no local codes the
National Electric Code (NEC) and Uniform Plumbing Code
(UPC) shall be observed. It is the responsibility of the
installer/owner to determine specific code compliance
prior to installation of the product.
NOTE: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, installation
is to be done by a Massachusetts licensed plumber.
CLEANING
1. Remove all loose debris. Construction plaster or excess
grout can be removed with the use of a wood (edge)
trowel.
2. Paint or tar stains may need to be removed with a cleaner
such as paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol). Never allow the cleaner to soak
against the acrylic surface for long periods of time.
Always rinse the surface immediately following the use of
cleaners.
Note: Follow the manufacturers instructions for safe use
of cleaning products. If the surface becomes scratched
or dulled, it may be restored by using a quality plastic
polish, like Novus Plastic Polish No. 2 (available from
the Jason Dealer). It is always preferable to protect the
acrylic surface during installation to minimize cleanup and
prevent surface damage.
WATER TESTING
Before finishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath be water tested and the plumbing tested for leaks.
1. Before water testing the bath, make sure that all plumbing
connections are tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
2. Fill and operate the bath. Close the drain and fill the bath with
water to at least 10 inches [25 cm] below the bath deck.
The inlet temperature should not exceed 104°F (40°C) as
this could damage the acrylic surface.
3. Inspect the plumbing for leaks.
4. Turn the blower Off and then drain the water. The bath unit
and its plumbing are designed to drain after each use
whether used as an air bath, soaking bath, or when taking
a shower.

Operating instructions , FEATURES, AND CONTROLS
INTRODUCTION
just taking a shower.
This manual contains all of the information needed for the
proper installation and operation of your Jason Air-Whirlpool
bath. The Air-Whirlpool bath has been designed to give
you years of relaxing trouble-free service, provided the
unit is maintained and operated in accordance with these
instructions.
Thoroughly clean and disinfect the unit as described in the
CLEANING section of the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS on
page 12 before its first use and periodically thereafter.
CAUTION: Keep hair, towels, and clothing away from the suction
fitting whenever the Air-Whirlpool equipment is On. Never
operate the equipment with the suction cover off, doing so
voids the manufacturer’s warranty--it is a safety cover designed
to eliminate the potential of hair and body entrapment.
All Jason Air-Whirlpool baths are pre-plumbed at the factory.
WARNING: Before operating refer to the instructions pertaining to the
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons on page 15.
JETS
Strategically placed whirlpool jets are provided for complete
enjoyment of your bath. The jets are specially designed for
maximum whirlpool action with either directional or rotational
capabilities. By changing the direction of the jets, you can
concentrate the massaging jet stream to your area of preference.
You can also individually adjust the flow of each jet.
BLOWER
The blower generates warm air and pushes it through the air
jets. Blowers provided on Jason Air-Whirlpool baths are factory
tested when assembled and again retested after installation
on the Air-Whirlpool bath.
STANDARD EDITION AUTOMATIC PURGE
Fifteen minutes after the control has shut off and the bath is
completely drained, the blower will start again for a two-minute
purge cycle that dries the air channel. Note that the blower light
will flash during the 15-minute pause before the purge cycle
begins. Once the purge cycle begins, all indicators will light and
the keypad operation will be disabled for two (2) minutes.
SIGNATURE EDITION AUTOMATIC PURGE
Twenty (20) minutes after the control has shut off and the bath
is completely drained, the blower will start again for a twominute purge cycle that dries the air channel. Note that the LCD
display will read “PURGE” and begin to countdown the 10 or
20 minute pause before the purge cycle begins. The readout
will display “PURGE ON” during the purge cycle.
Any time during the pause before the purge cycle begins,
pressing and holding the Blower Speeds icon will reduce the
pause from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. During the two-minute
purge, pressing the “Blower On/Off” icon will stop the purge.
AIR VOLUME CONTROL
SIGNATURE EDITION DAILY PURGE
Two air controls are conveniently located for bather control.
Turning the knob counter clockwise increases the air flow
and turning the knob clockwise decreases the air flow. For
maximum whirlpool effect, open the air controls completely.
Restriction of the air controls will produce fewer air bubbles
and a reduction in hydrotherapy performance.
The daily purge can be activated through the customized
settings of the Signature Edition touchpad. When activated
the daily purge will start the blower for two-minutes at the
same time everyday to dry the air channel. See ‘Operating the
Signature Edition Air-Whirlpool Touchpad’ section on page 9
for details on activating this setting.
PUMP
INITALIZATION OF SIGNATURE EDITION CONTROL
SYSTEM
Pumps provided on Jason Air-Whirlpool baths are factory
tested when assembled and retested after installation on
the Air-Whirlpool bath. These pumps are of efficient design
incorporating high quality long life seals which provide superior
service. However, should the pump need service, suction and
discharge unions are provided for easy pump removal.
FILLING AND DRAINING
Close the drain and fill the bath with water at least two (2)
inches (5cm) above the jets. The inlet temperature should
not exceed 40°C (104°F) as this could damage the acrylic
surface.
When bath is in use, turn the unit Off before draining the water.
The bath unit and its plumbing are designed to drain after each
use whether used as an Air-Whirlpool bath, soaking bath, or
Jason International, Inc. • 501.771.4477 The pump and blower junction box must be connected to its
dedicated service prior to filling the bath with water. This will
assure the control box is properly initialized (see Figure 4A).

pillows. A built in timer shuts the pump and blower off 20
minutes after being activated. A purge cycle will automatically
start the blower again for two (2) minutes, 10 to 20 minutes
after the bath has been shut off and completely drained. This
should be done in order to dry out the air channels. A daily
purge can also be set to turn the blower on at the same time
everyday. (See Operating the Signature Edition Air-Whirlpool
Touchpad.)
Remote Control
In addition to the main control touchpad installed on the bath
deck, a floating, waterproof Universal Remote Control is provided with all Signature Edition Air-Whirlpools. This remote
control provides the same control functions as the bath’s main
control console, plus the bather may remotely operate a TV,
DVD, VCR, CD, etc. Refer to the Instruction Manual provided
with the remote control for detailed instructions.

HUMIDITY
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE MAINTENANCE
Warning: Avoid high humidity levels in your home. Mold, mildew,
fungi and bacteria which may be harmful to health thrive in areas with
continued high humidity levels; therefore, every precaution should
be taken to make sure your plumbing fixtures including bathtubs,
therapy baths, or showers do not become a source of high humidity
due to improper installations or leaks.
Areas with minor scratches or dull surfaces can be restored
by applying commercially available plastic polish (i.e. Novus
Plastic Polish No. 2, available at your Jason dealer), followed
by an application of acrylic paste wax. Buff the surface with
a clean soft cloth. Do not use sandpaper, steel wool, or
abrasive rubbing compounds.
To avoid having your plumbing fixtures become a source of
unwanted humidity, please make sure the following steps are
taken prior to installation.
If scratches are too deep to rub out, or if the damage penetrates
the acrylic surface, consult your dealer for recommendations
on surface repair.
1. Make sure the area where the bathtub or shower is installed is
well vented and allows enough ventilation and air circulation
to dry the bathroom environment within a short time after
taking a bath or shower.
AIR HEATER AND AIR TEMPERATURE
2. If your bath or shower unit is tiled-in, use units with an
integral tile flange or make sure a tile flange kit or a similar
mechanical barrier is installed to prevent shower spray,
splash, or overflow to leak behind the bathtub.
3. Make sure the plumber properly tests your therapy bath
before it is roughed in to make sure there are no leaks and
it is installed with proper access to bath equipment.
4. Make sure that all the plumbing and fixtures in the bathroom
are in good working order and have no leaks.
5. Do not use carpeting or other materials or furniture, which
can hold moisture in your bathroom.
6. Use disinfectant to clean any bathroom surfaces which are
regularly exposed to moisture.
7. Clean and disinfect humidifier and dehumidifiers as
recommended by the manufacturer. Replace the air filter
on the HVAC unit once a month.
8. Clean moldy surfaces as soon as any mold appears by using
a detergent/soapy solution and appropriate household
cleaner. Always use gloves during cleaning. Dispose of
any sponges or rags used to clean mold.
CLEANING
With minimum care, your acrylic-surfaced bath will retain its
high-luster finish for many years. For regular cleaning use
Jason Bath Cleaner or a mild NONABRASIVE liquid detergent
solution (i.e. glass cleaner) and a soft, wet cloth or sponge.
Do not run the air system with foaming cleaners or soaps.
Rinse the bath thoroughly after cleaning.
Jason International, Inc. • 501.771.4477 The air heater incorporated into the air blower is designed
to preheat the incoming air to body temperature, not to heat
the bath water. The air heater automatically comes on when
the air blower is activated.
Even though all Air-Whirlpool baths provide preheated
air, occasionally some people with sensitive skin might
experience a cold air sensation. This sensation is caused
by the swiftly moving heated air bubbles blowing on the wet
skin. This phenomenon can be related to the use of a fan for
cooling on a hot day. While the ambient temperature does
not change, the moving air makes you feel cooler. Avoiding
this cold air sensation is among the reasons Jason avoids
placing air jets directly beneath the body. If you experience
a cool air sensation, which is most noticeable during the first
few minutes of an Air-Whirlpool bath, simply move your body
slightly away from the closest jets.
FLUSHING / SANITIZING
Upon start-up and not to exceed 90 days, your Air-Whirlpool bath and
plumbing system should be flushed. Follow the Sani-Design™
Cleaning instructions provided with the bath.
REPAIR
Refer all plumbing or electrical repair to a qualified service
technician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE
PROBLEM. This can result in danger of electrical shock
or damage to the unit and will VOID THE WARRANTY.
Remember, when contacting your dealer or service
representative, always have your serial number, proof of
purchase, and model number. This will insure a quick response
on warranty items. The serial number can be found on the
front page of this manual or on the small card adhered to
the back of the bath just above the blower.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS.
This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your Air-Whirlpool bath. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock, or fire.
WARNING: When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER:
To reduce the risk of injury FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
A. Do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
B. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
C. The water in an Air-Whirlpool should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C
(104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately 30 minutes, followed by
a shower to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia. The symptoms of this condition are nausea,
dizziness and fainting, and it can be fatal. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10
-15 minutes) and for young children.
D. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit whirlpool water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during Air-Whirlpool use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning. Never use the Air-Whirlpool bath while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants, stimulants,
antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics, or tranquilizers.
F. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before using an Air-Whirlpool.
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using an Air-Whirlpool bath since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
DANGER:
To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.
Do not operate this unit unless the suction cover is attached over the suction inlet fitting and the jet assemblies are installed.
There should be at least two (2) inches of water above the highest jet location during Air-Whirlpool bath operation. NEVER
RUN UNIT DRY.
WARNING: Never operate electrically connected devices in or near the bath. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
This unit must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a GFCI. Such a device should be installed by a licensed

should interrupt the power. Push the reset button and the power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this
manner, there is the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service technician.
To avoid the possibility of personal injury and discoloration of the acrylic surface, the inlet water temperature should not
exceed 40°C (104°F). The bath should be drained after each use. Each bather should start their bath with fresh water. Do
not use oil base additives in your Air-Whirlpool bath.
CAUTION: Do not use harsh abrasives or solvents for cleaning this unit.
